CMJ Announces More Bands, Plus $200 Off Tickets for NYU Students

Escort the download.png” alt=”Picture 2″ width=”342″ height=”232″ />Yesterday CMJ added more bands to its official lineup, including one or two NYU bands that various Local contributors will be interviewing within the coming weeks. Student badges for the five day festival cost an exorbitant $275, which most college students are not willing (or able) to shell out for low profile bands. CMJ seems to have your back, though, offering an exclusive discount to all NYU students. If you enter access code NYUMM09 on this ticket order page, one of CMJ’s publicists has assured me that your tickets will cost just $75… not bad for a five day music festival, and definitely way more affordable (just be sure to have your NYU ID with you when you pick up the tickets). We’ll also be doing a free CMJ badge giveaway for Local readers closer to the event. After the jump, the new (and already crazy long) lineup.
